We’re
here today with another special guest on the Vapour2 blog: vape reviewer The
Vape Blogger. We’re happy to welcome Mike to our blog today and find out a bit
more about his vaping journey, his top tips for new vapers and the role the
vaping community has played in his experience with vaping.

Hi
Mike, thanks for joining us on the V2 blog; we’re excited to hear more about
your journey not only as a vaper but also as a reviewer. First of all, could
you tell us a little bit about yourself and your blog?

Hi,
thanks for having me. I’m just an average guy really, I work full time so try
and fit my blogging in around work and family life (it’s harder than it
sounds!).

In
my blog I am as honest as I am in every day life. If I don’t like something I
will tell you the truth no matter how harsh it may sound. The blog is still new
and has only been running for about four months but I’m getting really good
figures and comments on what I write about. I am also about to start on YouTube
in the next few days.

Tell
us a little bit about your journey from smoking to switching to vaping.

I
started to smoke when I was about 18, before that I hated the smell or the idea
of even trying a cigarette. I was at a party and for some reason I decided it
was a good idea to start and became a social smoker. Then it just spiralled out
of control from then.

Then
four and a half years ago I was walking past a stall in my local shopping
centre and the guys asked me to try this new vape pen. They told me that this
would help me stop. I didn’t believe them and went on my way. A week later I
went back and bought my first kit and ego style pen with some cherry tunes and
orange tic-tac e-liquid.

What
are the main changes you’ve seen between starting vaping and the vaping
landscape today?

When
I started vaping it was really unheard of. The range of products that where
available was tiny and also the range of e liquids very limited. Sub ohm vaping
was non existent and I guess the horror stories and funny looks that came with
vaping have died down.

Now
there is something for everyone and I mean everyone. From the small starter
kits and pod systems to big bulky power houses with tanks capable of 250-300
watts. The range of liquids are again huge, every vaper will have a juice they
like without having to compromise. You can get almost every flavour imaginable.

I
never thought I would be making my own coils and dripping liquid or using mech
mods and learning about ohms law.

What
role has the vaping community played in your journey as a vaper?

When
I first started vaping I used to watch YouTube videos and look for reviews of
different liquids or products that was just purely from fear of buying junk.

The
community have been great and when you need support they are there to offer
help and guidance. It’s hard to quit smoking as every vaper will tell you, but
if you ever need help just reach out. A simple tweet or post on Facebook and
you will have support within minutes.

We’re delighted to have you here on our
blog so we’d love to know what your favourite bit of kit from our range is.

I’ve
been using the Vapour2 Pro Series 7 kit and it’s a really nice piece of kit. It’s
got a real

premium
feel to the device. The magnetic cartridge is great and it takes no time at all
for the coils to wick. It’s got good battery life and decent vapour production
considering how tight the draw is.

The
magnetic charger is another premium feature with this kit. Overall I’d say it’s
a solid piece of kit. It’s no cloud checker but it definitely hits the spot.

Tell
us more about your experience as a reviewer. Has it changed the way you vape?
What is the most rewarding thing about running your blog? The most challenging?

I
used to stick to the same liquids all the time and used the same device and
tank for an age.

As a reviewer I do vape differently. I’m
still new to the game I never buy the same liquid twice and always vape
different flavours and different ranges to give my best opinion on my blogs. I
vape on tanks drippers and rdta’s but as a normal vaper I only really vaped on
one thing for a period of time.

The
most rewarding thing is that someone actually reads what I write to be honest.
I’ve helped get a few people off smoking and on to vaping and that is all the
satisfaction I need.

The
hard part is just finding time. As I said I work full time and have two young
children so time is definitely the biggest challenge.

What
are your top dos and don’ts for those who want to make the switch to vaping?

Top do’s for me is to buy the best starter kit
you can afford. Vaping is first an investment in your own health and I wouldn’t
be picking one of the starter kits from one of the corner shops for a tenner.

Do
your research and speak to a vaper or check out some reviews from the community
for advice. It’s a long road but stick with it and you will feel the benefits.

Top don’t is not to go straight in a buy a big
expensive mod and sub ohm tank or dripper.

You
probably won’t enjoy it straight off so are more likely to just return to
traditional tobacco.

Don’t go near tobacco flavour liquids until
your comfortable that you will never light a cigarette again.

Finally
don’t be scared to ask for help, If you are struggling then just ask. I think
every vaper will offer help and certainly every reviewer that I know will help
out.

To
finish up, what is your favourite V2 e-liquid flavour and what is your dream
flavour that isn’t currently available to buy?

My
favourite flavour had got to be the peppermint from the
V2 range and my dream flavour would have to be a dark and stormy cocktail.
Kracken rum, ginger beer and lime. That would be epic!

TESTIMONIALS FROM VAPERS

Really impressed with the build of the series 7, does the job excellent battery life and the dry herb vape is great, two weeks smoke free so far one more week and it's paid for it's self. Just as well as I'm going to need a new e liquid chamber before long.

Nick R

Very impressed with the quality of the V2 pro 3, vapour throat hit and I haven't touched a cigarette for almost a month now...

Ming

This is my third time getting my supply from V2 UK, the most recent being the V2 Pro S3. They have the best customer service around, fast delivery and great products...

Reno

I have purchased three Long Batteries (manual and automatic) so far and I must admit these are THE BEST cigalikes I have ever tried...

Ash

Very impressed, as a heavy tobacco smoker for over 20 years I have not felt the need for a normal roll-up The e liquid V2 Red is very good...

Wayne

I recommend you buy the cartridge pack that contains 10 different flavours, those cartridges will give you insight on which flavours you will stick to for a long time...

Rhodes

It's now three weeks since I stopped smoking tobacco and it's all down to this shisha pen! It has a good throat hit, produces lots of vapour and is really smooth...

Lily

I've been vaping v2 for 3 years, half way through I tried to find an alternative I could buy locally without post, just pop in and pick up, an expensive exercise but none lived upto the smooth flavour and I tried from cheap to expensive, but there were none that compared to V2.
